Ding-Dong! The Witch is Dead
Hillary Clinton will withdraw from the race to become the Democratic candidate for the US presidency, and back her rival Barack Obama, her campaign says.
On Tuesday, Mr Obama gained enough delegates to win the nomination, after the final votes of the primary season. Mrs Clinton has not publicly admitted losing, but at an event on Saturday she will do so "and express her support for Senator Obama", aides say.
Mr Obama has already announced a team to help select his running mate. Reports that Mrs Clinton was ready to concede came after she made a conference call to senior Democrats in Congress. At a Democratic Party event in Washington, Mrs Clinton will also "express her support... for party unity", her communications director Howard Wolfson said.
The final primaries of the season were held on Tuesday - with Mr Obama winning Montana and Mrs Clinton winning South Dakota. A candidate needs 2,118 delegates to secure the nomination and Mr Obama now has the support of 2,154 delegates. Mrs Clinton has 1,919.

i will never forget when she "mis-spoke" during her campaign. It looked like her credibility took a huge dive after that. And attacking Obama then and now wanting to be his running mate? puh-leeze
